You know that feeling you get when you’re looking at the Stagecoach lineup and there’s always that one name that you get absolutely ecstatic about? Maren Morris is that name for us in 2017.

The Arlington, Texas native has taken the country world by storm overnight as she took home the 2016 CMA “New Artist of the Year” award and most recently the ACM for ” New Female Vocalist of the Year.”

Morris released her debut album Hero on June 3, 2016, which was also the same week she began the “RipCord Tour” with Keith Urban. The album debuted and peaked at number five on the Billboard 200 chart, and number one on the Top Country Albums chart.

Her debut single from the album, “My Church”, hit number one on the Country Digital Songs chart in 2016 and reached the top five on the US Hot Country Songs chart.

Now, Morris is currently on the road headlining her own show dubbed, “The HERO Tour.” She’ll be joining Sam Hunt for his “15 in a 30 Tour” later in 2017.

We can wait to see what the 27-year old has planned for her Stagecoach debut this year!
